New fado princess Sara Correia!

Sara Correia has lived and breathed Fado since she was a child – she grew up in a Fado family surrounded by music and musicians. She was only 13 years old when she won the Grande Noite do Fado, and she was soon invited to sing in one of the city's most legendary Fado houses, Casa de Linhares. There, she had the opportunity to sing and learn alongside legendary Fado singers such as C. Rodrigues, J. Fernando, and M. da Nazaré, among others.

 

Her first album Sara Correia, released by Universal Music Portugal, was created in collaboration with producer D. Clemente. In 2019, the album earned her two nominations for the first edition of the Play - Portuguese Music Awards, the Rádio Festival's Revelation Award, and more than 30 concerts and audiences surrendered in countries such as Spain, South Korea, Norway, Italy, Austria, Reunion Island, and, already in 2020, in India, Belgium, Holland, and Chile. Her second album "Do Coração" from 2020 received one PLAY - Portuguese Music Awards in the category "Best Fado Album" in 2021.

 

 

The fado singer was invited to perform live at the opening concert of the Portuguese Presidency of the Council of the European Union, at Centro Cultural de Belém in Lisbon, in early 2021, where she was accompanied by the Portuguese Symphonic Orchestra, conducted by Joana Carneiro.

 

Sara Correia's hard work and talent earned her a Latin Grammy nomination in 2021 for Do Coração.  Year 2022 Correia opened with Quero é Viver, a cover of António Variações’s 1983 song for the opening credits of TVI's primetime telenovela of the same name. Even without a videoclip, the song skyrocketed the Shazam and YouTube charts in its first week and remains in the charts as a poignant reminder of Sara Correia's unique voice and interpretation.
